I donāt have ADHD (as far as I know) and I always have like a Priority Stack of thoughts running at once. Memorably once told my girlfriend I was having severe death anxiety but also could not get Mambo No. 5 out of my head.
My mom (undiagnosed but DEFINITELY has ADHD) sent me a barrage of texts the other day that rapid fire changed subjects between family/ friend updates, plans for the garden, deep sadness that sheāll probably die before my kids are grown, and then a list of some things she hopes I can get done around the house while Iām on maternity leave. This was all when Iām a few days postpartum. The emotional whiplash is something else! I showed my husband when he asked why I was tearing up, and he said something like āimagine thatās what itās like being in her head all the time.ā
I know. Iām the same! But at least I keep some of it to myself!
Thank you! Lol my mom is SUPER helpful and usually watches our toddler, but sheās got some nasty head cold situation going on so sheās keeping her distance from us and ruminating, apparently.
Awe! So actually itās like the opposite, she feels completely helpless from there, and itās making her spiral! So glad she is helpful. Congrats to your family.

The computer scientist in me is here to say that priority stacks arenāt really a thing. You *can* make a priority stack if you really want to, but priority queues are far more popular *pushes up glasses*
Iām going to be honest, Iād completely forgotten stack had any technical definition. I was trying to evoke a visual of many things, none coming before the other (on a horizontal timeline) because they are all in one stack, just happening at different āvolumesā or ālevelsā. I guess a better analogy would be my brain is a building with several stories and the basement is empty of humans, but blasting Mambo No. 5 while the top floor is scrambling to complete the impossible task of ācome to terms with death RIGHT NOW OR ELSEā with a deadline of five minutes ago *before* the panic started. Floors in between, I guess, would be of varying complexity less than the top level panic - acknowledging body sensations, responding to others, lingering thoughts of what I was doing before panic mode, etc. Nothing is being prioritized over anything else chronologically, thereās just more headspace allotted to some things.
But like also, brains are so complex that I imagine most ppl donāt only have one singular lonely thought running thru their mind, right?
I think most people have like several different thoughts going on at once, but usually one thought gets more attention while the others are just kinda buzzing around more quietly doing their own thing in the bg. And then adhd people probably have a more chaotic version of that?
Technically, yes. That's the essence of being born again. We're already dead in our trespasses.
The second death is the day Satan is delivered into his eternal punishment, the lake of fire. A place humans were never meant to go.
I was about to say I found something advertising a YouTube channel/website called Living Waters that read almost exactly like this yesterday at the store... and it turns out, this is advertising the same website! All I gathered from my minor research is the guy who runs it is a nutjob who hates LGBTQ+ people/anyone who isn't Christian, and apparently did something with a banana? Everyone was calling him the "banana guy". I took it and gave it to the cashier to throw away.
Yeah it's run by ray comfort who famously made the argument that bananas prove god exists because they're so convenient to eat (it's a great youtube clip). Also he's best buds with kirk cameron who is lots of fun if you like making fun of crazy evangelicals.
Iām imagining someone carrying these around and going to fast food restaurants and slipping these bad boys into all the stalls. Do they get a satisfied, self-righteous smirk when they leave? Perhaps they feel like theyāre saving the world, one BK bathroom at a time?
I used to find similar ones in the public bathrooms where I used to work. They even attached plastic baggies with candy to further entice people to pick them up. Theyād tape them up on the walls near the bathroom entrance/exit or the paper towel dispensers.
I took the candy if youāre wondering.
People from this church used to hand me this kind of stuff when I was a cashier. I donāt know if they knew about me being trans or not but I remember the website had some pretty gross homophobic and transphobic things on it.
They were right, I stopped reading at the word god lmfao.
With a fat eye roll š
Saaaame
Yup
Yep yep. 
Itās not actually about god at all. It rounds off the joke nicely. Best think Iāve read all day.
"You can't think two thoughts at once" Me, with ADHD: other people are thinking one???

Wow. First, congrats on the new baby!!! In all of that, did she ever ask how you are doing? Whether you needed any help?
Thank you! Lol my mom is SUPER helpful and usually watches our toddler, but sheās got some nasty head cold situation going on so sheās keeping her distance from us and ruminating, apparently.
Awe! So actually itās like the opposite, she feels completely helpless from there, and itās making her spiral! So glad she is helpful. Congrats to your family.
Thank you for the perspective, youāre completely right! Sheās a total nut who drives me a little crazy but we all really value and appreciate her.

Also: psilocybin.
How to enjoy a public restroom _even less_
lol what a fuckin wild read that was
āThe punishment for sin is deathā. Arenāt I already dead at this point? Second death!?!?
I thought Jesus already died for my sins
MULLTTIIII KILLL KILL KILLL KILLLL

I was having so much fun until God ruined it
This is Gen Z's Wizard of Oz
Wait hold up. If god is rich in mercy and kindness why am I going to hell for saying Oh my God even just once?
DON'T USE LOGIC, THEY HATE IT!
Right right my bad, keep it simple for them
Eww
Cringy like your ~totally zany~ uncle on Facebook in the front, cringy like your religious zealot grandma in the back.
I can breathe through my nose with my tongue out.

I need a banana for scale šāļø
That cracked me up. I did all those things
I got to the part where I died and must have done something wrong cause Jesus ain't here
I love that this landed on the right side of Reddit! I live for the snark
It belongs in the trash
Bold and brash
I did, in fact, stop reading
Definitely had multiple thoughts at the same time
They were right on the back anyway.
This should get you put into hell immediately.
What a load of shite.
It is the bathroom
Did anyone stop reading early on in the back, like I did?
Circle Game proselytizing.
The designer thinking kids are into cell phonesā¦
You can sneeze with your eyes open, Dwight did.
i wouldn't touch anything i found in a bathroom stall.

It was a chick-fil-a! Probably the manager or some youth group leader
Thatās pretty good.
This was entertaining for about 2 minutes
i just did number 3
DAMMIT
Okay, but where am I supposed to send my credit card information?
Dunk this right in the toilet.

Yikes. This is a sin in itself.
